Staff

Raised on a 100 acre Christmas tree farm in rural Connecticut, she was taught from a young age the importance of living within an interconnected web of loving energy that includes people, plants and animals.

Erin offers multidimensional, plant medicine assisted, sex positive life coaching sessions designed to help you embrace, integrate, and securely express all aspects of who you are.

Erin’s study as an Herbalist in the Wise Woman Tradition, combined with her training as a Zen hospice and prison chaplain, and ongoing studies in Shakta Tantra and sacred plant medicines have given her a unique ability to accompanyyou through life’s turning points as an ally on your journey of liberation through embodiment.

She has studied with a wide range of contemporary teachers, including Garifuna Elder Arzu Mountain Spirit, Susun S. Weed, and Trudi Jhinpu Hirsch, and is honored to be with you as midwife at the edge of your comfort zone, as you conceive, incubate, and give birth to your own highest vision for your life.
